The second week of the preseason in the NFL tends to offer a bit more intrigue, in large part due to more big-name players seeing the field for extended action in what is largely shaping up to be the true tune-up game as part of the newer three-game preseason slate.
On Saturday at Acrisure Stadium against the Buffalo Bills, that will be the case for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as quarterback Russell Wilson will start and make his Steelers debut, while another addition like linebacker Patrick Queen should see the field as well.
But while it’s a big tune-up game for the key names and starters across the board, it’s also another prime opportunity for some bubble guys to make plays, draw more attention and really put their names into a conversation for not only a roster spot, but a potential role moving forward.
